Key Terpenes in Harmony
Alpha-Terpineol
Alpha-Terpineol is predominantly found in the essential oils of herbs like oregano, marjoram, and certain citrus fruits. It possesses notable biological activities, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, making it beneficial for managing various health concerns (Source: Leafwell). For menopause, these properties are particularly relevant as they help combat oxidative stress, support hormonal balance, and potentially alleviate symptoms such as mood swings, anxiety, and sleep disturbances. Its calming effects may promote relaxation and emotional stability, providing holistic support during the menopausal transition.
Citronellol
Citronellol, a natural compound found in citronella, valerian, hops and many other fragrant plants, has shown potential benefits for managing menopause symptoms such as anxiety, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. Its calming and anti-anxiety properties can help alleviate stress and mood fluctuations commonly associated with menopause. Additionally, its sedative effects may contribute to improved sleep quality, addressing insomnia and disrupted sleep patterns often experienced during this stage of life (Phycology Today).

FAQs
Are there any known allergens in your products?
All of our products are free from dairy, eggs, gluten.
For those with nut allergies, the hemp hearts, protein and oil are processed in a facility that ONLY processes hemp. These products should be safe for you to eat. Our Roasted Range (Dukkah, Salad Sprinkle, Crumble) either contain or may contain traces of sesame, almonds and other nuts.
For those with allergies to fragrances, in particular Linalool and Limonene, it is best to either avoid using the Terpene Tonics or use with caution.
Hemp, like many natural products, has the potential to be an allergen for some individuals, although it's relatively uncommon compared to more prevalent allergens like peanuts, dairy, or shellfish.
For individuals trying hemp products for the first time or those who suspect they may have a food allergy, it's wise to start with small amounts and monitor for any adverse reactions. If you suspect you have an allergy to hemp or experience unexpected symptoms after consuming hemp products, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper testing and guidance.
Why are dosage instructions different for Australia compared to the US?
In Australia, terpenes are not recognised as foods and cannot be taken orally as a general food product. Therefore, they have been classified as non-medical cosmetic products and must be administered topically.
In the US, terpenes are recognised as being part of the everyday diet through traditional foods. They can therefore be classified as dietary supplements under FDA regulations and can be administered orally.
What is the difference between hemp seed oil and hemp oil?
The terms "hemp seed oil" and "hemp oil" are sometimes used interchangeably, but they can refer to different products based on the part of the hemp plant used and the extraction process.
Hemp seed oil is specifically extracted from the seeds of the hemp plant. It provides nutritional benefits due to its fatty acid profile and can be a good source of essential nutrients.
Hemp oil may refer to oil extracted from the entire hemp plant, including the leaves, flowers, and stalks. This type of oil may contain cannabinoids, such as cannabidiol (CBD), which are compounds found in the hemp plant. The potential benefits of hemp oil with CBD are currently being studied, and some people use it for purposes such as stress relief, pain management, and sleep support.
Currently, in Australia, it is not legal to sell unregistered CBD products over the counter. If you are interested in CBD and how it may help you, try our Terpene Tonics first as a cheaper and easily accessible option.
Will I test positive for THC in a drug test?
Eating hemp seeds has little effect on a person’s THC levels ― and never enough to exceed the levels looked for in federal drug testing programs. So rest assured, hemp seed is safe to eat and you can eat it daily and have no risk of failing a drug test.
The Terpenes used in our Terpene Tonics have all been extracted from common herbs and spices and do not contain THC.

Are terpenes or hemp safe for kids, breastfeeding or pregnancy?
Terpenes are in most fruit and vegetables and are generally recognised as safe. While some terpenes may have potential health benefits, the safety of using terpene products, especially in concentrated forms, on children is not well-studied. Therefore, we do not recommend using the terpenes for children under 12.
Likewise for pregnancy and breastfeeding. Due to lack of data it is safest not to use these products.
Hemp seed is safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women, and for kids from the moment they start eating solids. Hemp seeds are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for brain development in infants.

Are there any known interactions with pharmaceuticals?
As a general precaution, it's always advisable to inform your healthcare provider about any dietary supplements or oils you are considering, especially if you are on prescription medications. Your GP can provide personalized advice based on your health history and specific medication regimen.
Hemp seed oil is a natural blood thinner, so those on blood thinning medication should consult their general practitioner.
